It’s been a long, hard hiatus since Candice Glover was crowned the winner of American IdolSeason 12. Thankfully, our favorite music competition returned tonight (January 15), and we met a whole new crop of hopefuls looking to become the country’s next big superstar!

Though it actually isn’t in Austin or Boston where we meet the first contender of the night, Marrialle Sellars, she kicks us off with the intro to the show. Entering the audition room with a guitar in hand, Marialle blows the panel away with her soulful rendition of “Grenade” by Bruno Mars.

The judges certainly don’t hide how excited they are by the 17-year-old. “You are going to be a nightmare for the other contestants,” says Harry.
